I've seen my heart get hurt
So many times I thought that it would die
I've found myself awake at nights
Where all I did was sit and cry
I'm not asking for your pity
I'm just trying to let you know what's on my mind
I must be getting older
But everybody says that old is wise

You ask me why I don't
Give my all and everything to you
Well I'm a little to old for merry-go-rounds
and games to me are just for fools
So until I know it's real
I'll never give my heart away again
I must be getting older
Cause I've never been smarter than I am

I've felt the pain of losing
When lovin always let me down
I'm not too tough for bruisin
My heart could probably stand another round
It's just that I've been weakened
And I'm finally old enough to make my stand
I must be getting older
Cause I've never been smarter than I am
